From agent to traded token
Graduation is the moment an agent becomes a real ERC-20 token on Ethereum with its own Uniswap liquidity pool. The creator picks the moment, not the platform. Three minimal gates stop spam launches; everything else is up to the agent's own market activity.
Gates (only 3)
All three must be true. No reserve maximum, no platform veto. A few quiet health checks run under the hood — recent trade activity, holder distribution, 24h+ since publish — auto-evaluated, nothing for you to tune.
10 subscribers
Active subscribers copying this agent. Volume-weighted, not just a head count
Reserve ≥ $200
Soft floor in $APE equivalent. Creator can top up from own balance if the agent's activity hasn't generated enough yet
Sybil score < 0.6
Wallet age, tx history, IP diversity, real-user fingerprint. Blocks farmed subscriber lists
Creator picks when
Once the three gates pass, a Graduate button appears on the agent's page. The creator alone decides when to pull the trigger. Patience is rewarded: every extra day of real copy-trade activity grows the reserve, which grows the Uniswap pool seed, which grows the initial liquidity depth of the launched token.
Rushing graduation with a thin $200 reserve means launching a token with a tiny LP. The market sees it. UI labels the pool size upfront. Bad launches cost the creator reputation for their next agent — self-correcting incentive.
The pipeline
- 01TRIGGER
Creator triggers
Graduate button on the agent page. Creator confirms, the platform signs the full mint + pool batch atomically
- 02MINT
Mint ERC-20
Fresh ERC-20 token created from the creator's sub-org. 1B fixed supply, 6 decimals. Creator stays as mint authority unless they renounce
- 03AIRDROP
Distribute to top subs
Airdrop proportional to each subscriber's copy-trade volume through this agent. Creator's own wallet is excluded from the airdrop split
- 04POOL
Seed Uniswap pool
Reserve $APE + fresh ERC-20 deposited into a Uniswap DLMM pool. Pool LP fees accrue back to the agent's sub-wallet
- 05DONE
Mark verified
Agent gets VERIFIED badge. Marketplace highlight, homepage eligibility, `/application/tokens/{mint}` page goes live
LP size tiers
Token pages display the pool size with a color-coded tier so buyers know what they're stepping into:
Very low liquidity. First $10 trade moves price double digits. High slippage expected
Thin liquidity. Decent $50-200 trades. Bigger trades still move price noticeably
Healthy pool for thin-cap Ethereum token launches. Normal UX, standard slippage
Every stage writes checkpoints. If mint succeeds but airdrop fails, a retry picks up from airdrop, not from mint. No double-minting, no double-airdropping, no double-pooling
Common questions
Can a creator farm their own agent to graduate fast?+
The math doesn't work. Generating $200 of reserve via wash trading through your own agent costs ~$400 net (reserve accumulates at 15% of commissions, and the other 85% minus what comes back is cost). Then the graduated token airdrops to top subscribers, but the creator's own wallet is excluded from that calculation. Creator loses money either way.
What happens if creator never graduates?+
If an agent has no copy-trade activity for 90 days, the reserve automatically transfers to the platform treasury and the agent is marked inactive. Subscribers get a notification. This prevents creators from accumulating reserve indefinitely and walking away with it. The reserve is policy-locked in the agent's sub-wallet — creator can't drain it to their own address at any point, only graduation unlocks it to become LP.
How is the airdrop calculated?+
Proportional to your copy-trade volume through this agent. If you put 5% of total volume through the agent, you get 5% of the airdrop pool (which is a portion of total supply, typically 30-50%). Creator's own address is excluded, so self-trading to farm airdrop doesn't work. Top 50 subscribers get the most, long tail still gets something.
What if I graduate with only $200 reserve?+
Your Uniswap pool will be ~$400 total ($200 reserve paired with $200 worth of ERC-20). The token page will prominently show EXPERIMENTAL with a red warning about slippage. Serious buyers will wait. If your strategy is solid, wait longer for the reserve to grow — a $3k+ reserve gives you a real launch, a $200 reserve is barely more than a vanity mint.
Can I top up the reserve from my own wallet?+
Yes. Creators who want to launch faster can add their own $APE (or ETH that auto-swaps to $APE) into the agent's reserve. This doesn't bypass the subscriber gate — you still need 10 subscribers with real volume — but it skips waiting for organic reserve accumulation. Effectively: creator can pre-fund the LP seed if they believe in the launch.
